Answer:
16.59%
Explanation:
First we look at the formula which to determine the future value of the security and then work back to determine the annual return in terms of percentage
Future Value = Present Value x (1 +i)∧n
where i = the annual rate of return
n= number of years or period
We then plug the given figures into the equation as follows
we already know Present value to be $10,000 and the future value to be $100,000 and the number of years to be 15
Therefore, the implied annual return or yield on the investment is
100,000 = 10,000 x (1+i)∧15
(1+i)∧15 = 100,000/10,000 = 10
1 + i = (10∧(1/15))=1.165914
i= 1.165914-1
= 0.1659
= 16.59%
